DVI and HDMI are the same cable just different ends.

didnt know that either!

so 2 DP to DVI adapters go to my 22"'s
DVI direct to the 20" in the booth.

and the other DVI to vga reference monitor

DONE!

Also this might interest you if you can wait a bit to buy. The EVGA 2win it is a dual GTX 460 GPU that supports 4 displays at once, 3 DVI and one mini HDMI. All you would need for that is 3 monitors with DVI/VGA (vga with a small adapter) and one HDMI monitor and this cable.

Do the monitors with HDMI also have DVI? if so then just use DVI to DP 😉

I wonder how much tho?

So far they only say "cheaper then a gtx 580"

 

[bradnewman]

yeah my 2 main monitors (the 22's) have 3 connection types - HDMI, DVI and VGA
the 20" in the booth is just DVI and VGA
and then I have one Older VGA

 

[bradnewman]

OUCH! $500 .. I dont think so.

Lol yea, but the GTX 580's are down to around 400-450 now and expected to go down more when the GTX 590 comes out on the 22nd.
